Lot 2130
1862 $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. This is the only Mint State 1862 half eagle graded by either NGC or PCGS. Combined, they have seen 6 that grade AU-58. As to the particulars here, this one is fully struck, with bold curls on Liberty, and excellent luster throughout. Mintages plunged to 4,430 in 1862 as the Civil War took hold and little gold was turned in for coining. Easily identifiable by a small bagmark below the hair bun of Liberty in the field. A foremost rarity for the specialist, and a coin not to be missed.
Estimated Value $20,000-UP.
